Sage Hill Freshman and Sophomore Among Six Winning Poets in Haiku Contest
Two Sage Hill students were among the six winning poets in this year’s Nicholas A. Virgilio Memorial Haiku Contest.
The contest, for grades 7-12, is the world’s largest and longest-running haiku contest for middle and high school students. More than 4,000 entries were submitted this year.
The winning poets from Sage Hill (and their haiku) are:
Grace Ma ‘21
the barren branch
impales
a full moon
impales

Ben Miller ‘20
dad
home
without the tumor
These students will have their work published on the Haiku Society of America’s (HSA) website, as well as in Frogpond, the HSA's quarterly journal. Additionally, each student receives a check for $50. Both the students and Sage Hill School also receive a one-year subscription to Frogpond.
“This has been the most outstanding year for Sage Hill haiku ever, with 75 of our students writing more than 3,000 poems and then picking their best three to submit to the contest,” Parker said.
